We performed a comparison between Red Hat Satellite and SUSE Manager based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Configuration Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The overall user experience is quite nice. I have no complaints from end users regarding their devices enrolled in Intune."
"Its direct integration with all the other products that we have from Microsoft is valuable. We're using the E5 license, and we have a whole wealth of different products available. It just makes it easier to have everything from one provider."
"The solution is scalable. We currently have tens of thousands of users within our organization using the solution."
"This product offers an alternative solution to other UEM (Unified Endpoint Management) solutions."
"Conditional access helps me control uncontrolled access."
"Microsoft Endpoint Manager is not expensive overall, especially for small environments."
"It helps implement conditional access policies to restrict mobile users from accessing potentially dangerous emails."
"While I don't think you can ever have full visibility and control, Intune certainly allows us to see the applications being used and tells us if things like Windows patches aren't applied to machines. It does a good job. That visibility makes life a little easier."
"Satellite gives administrators the ability to target deployments and only send out the updates or provision updates to certain groups."
"The product allows us to handle patching for multiple servers at a time manually."
"You don't need to depend on any third party. It's a complete solution for patch and configuration management when integrated with the existing system."
"The 'remote execution' feature further helps manage systems on a consistent basis."
"It plays a significant role in managing the lifecycle of our systems and ensures that we can effectively control and update the software versions to align with our organization's needs."
"The product helps me to manage a large number of servers from one console."
"It cuts down significantly on the administrative time it takes to patch systems in a large environment."
"The compliance auditing helped me a lot."
"The setup is straightforward."
"When it comes to managing both Red Hat and SUSE environments, it provides the support for live patching, which is something I really, really appreciate."
"SUSE Manager helps to optimize operations at a reduced cost."
"SUSE Manager is the best solution for maintaining the Linux environment"
"Lacking ability to leverage more iOS device management internally."
"The solution requires Mac support."
"While Intune works perfectly well, the only potential downside is that the deployment could be a bit complex for some users."
"Reporting needs improvement."
"In the next release, I would like a feature to be able to properly lock down the device. For example, if an attacker or somebody steals the phone, you can be sure that the pin cannot be broken."
"The solution could improve by having better integration with Apple."
"There can be some added features, such as an improved dashboard. Any new feature that could be a benefit to our customers would be good."
"The UI is not user-friendly and has room for improvement."
"There could be a feature to simplify the process without the requirement of any patch manager subscription."
"There needs to be some margin for improvement in terms of the way Satellite manages subscriptions. It is still very confusing when we have different contracts or different bundles of subscriptions, and we need to manage those within Satellite in a way that's very user-friendly."
"Red Hat Satellite's pricing needs improvement."
"Improving integration could lead to a more unified management experience for multiple operating systems within our data center."
"Regarding the product's ability to support third-party tools, Red Hat doesn't support all the layers from the open-source version of Linux."
"I would like to see the scalability, user interface, and reporting features improved and for the solution to be simplified. Instead of having complex engineering, it should be simple for the user."
"The product could have more diversity in what it is able to deploy and might do better if it was not dedicated to Red Hat products only."
"I would like the direct integration with insights to be re-established."
"The initial stage is a bit complex, but after that, everything runs seamlessly."
"I really would like to have a broader library of VCP's or playbooks that I can deploy."
"It can be complex and difficult for users who are new to Linux and don't have any technical expertise."
"We sometimes have server issues and need to restart the service."
